sample contamination hiv ?

I had condom broke exposure when have vaginal sex I test  at 4 weeks for hiv with 4th generation test but I’m worried my test may not be accurate for one reason

1) I just wanted to clarify if nurse had blood or bodily fluid on glove by touching surface of table from previous patient

Nurse touched my injection site (where nurse inserts needle ) and did not rub alcohol swab after again
so if blood or bodily fluid  was on the surface of my arm (injection site) and nurse inserted the needle to draw blood would blood or bodily fluid  flow into the needle and then Into blood collection tube  would this contaminate my sample and effect my hiv test?

WOULD THIS MAKE MY HIV TEST INACCURATE

Thanks !
Sorry for English have you understood

No, this would not make your HIV test inaccurate.  Seems like you may have been around our forum a time or two . . . the only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV drug needles. A nurse touching you will not transmit the virus. AIR is involved.  This is not a risk for HIV.
